The aim of the present work was to study the effects of ciprofloxacin on renal cortex of rabbits and the possible protective role of vitamin C. Twenty four adult male rabbits were used in this study and randomly divided into three groups: control, ciprofloxacin treated and ciprofloxacin plus vitamin C-treated group. This regimen of treatment was given orally for one month. At sacrifice, blood samples were drawn for biochemical study UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2007/VMJ/5507/3/819.pdf ER -
